Billy Fury,was born Ronald Wycherley, in Liverpool, He was discovered by impressario Larry Parnes on October 1, 1958, He attended a performance of The Larry Parnes Extravaganza, on which one of the featured performers was Marty Wilde, a hot young rock 'n roll star who was already well known from his appearances on the television series Oh Boy! Wycherley got backstage to offer his own songs to Wilde in the hope that he might perform them -- instead, he was seen and heard by Parnes and put him into the show that night. The applause that Wycherley received earned him a permanent spot on the tour and Parnes as his agent, In keeping with Larry Parnes' established proceedure of giving his singers stage names derived from distinctive emotions and attributes -Marty Wilde, Johnny Gentle, Vince Eager -- Ronald Wycherley became Billy Fury. His early performances were so suggestive by English standards that he was forced to restrain himself from his more overtly sexual stage moves when a curtain was brought down on one of his shows.
Billy Fury's recording career began early in 1959 with "Maybe Tomorrow," a song that he wrote himself and which charted soon after its release. Then
After a string of hit singles, Fury cut his debut album, The Sound of Fury, in early 1960. Released in April of that year, The Sound of Fury was the best rock 'n roll long-player (albeit only a 10-inch platter) ever to come out of England up to that time.
In 1960, Decca Records made a decision to soften Fury's sound, at least on his singles. "Talkin' In My Sleep" and "Don't Worry" backed by the Four Kestrels were two results of this change, but they still come off as decent rock 'n roll. It was the orchestrated "Halfway To Paradise" in 1961 that began his brief assault of the top of the charts, hitting No. 3, and followed a few months later by the No. 2 charting "Jealousy," and the No. 5 charting "I'd Never Find Another You." One of his self-penned B-sides of this era, "Fury's Tune," ...................and the rest is HISTORY .............

A Happy Christmas To You Billy, One Thousand Stars In The Sky, You The Brightest Of Them All,Up In That Wondrous Place,
MERRY CHRISTMAS BILLY
WE'LL NEVER FIND ANOTHER YOU ,ESPECIALLY AT CHRISTMAS , SENDING YOU ALL OUR LOVE XXX
Christmas Lights in Heaven
At Christmas time we trim our tree
With gifts and candy canes
And go for joyful sleigh rides
Down sparkling snow filled lanes.
We fill our homes with tinsel
Our hearts with Christmas cheer
We're all a little nicer
At this lovely time of year.
Stores are filled with shoppers
Streets are trimmed in green
Carolers on each corner
Tis' quite a lovely scene.
But we cannot know the beauty
The splendor or the love
Of Christmas time in heaven
With our Saviour up above.
The light that shines from Jesus
Stands out from all the rest
Of all the Christmas time displays
His is by far the best.
Like diamonds shining in the sun
You'll find His flaming light
Like a million candles burning
In the middle of the night.
The colors found in heaven
Have such a wondrous glow
And you'll find a world of beauty
Where the golden rivers flow.
There won't be gifts or mistletoe
Nor stately Christmas tree
But the throne of God will glisten
With the Blessed Trinity.
